If a dynamic equilibrium is disturbed by changing the conditions, the position of equilibrium moves to counteract the change. In this lecture, viewers will learn about chemical reactions but will also learn some important life lessons. However, if we have a mixture of reactants and products that have not yet reached equilibrium, the changes necessary to reach equilibrium may not be so obvious. Note that when a reaction makes more products as a response to the perturbation, we call it a rightshift. He determined that acids and bases must ionize or dissociate in water. Le chatelier s principle also known as chatelier s principle or the equilibrium law states that when a system experiences a disturbance such as concentration, temperature, or pressure changes, it will respond to restore a new equilibrium state.
